Need source for newspaper article

January 3rd, 2008, 05:39 PM

Hi, I am a reporter with The Journal-Standard in Freeport and wanted to do an article about the Church of Google and a look into what constitutes religion, church and spirituality. I need a person I can contact and have a phone interview please contact me by my work email if interested. Please respond as I have an fast approaching deadline for this article.

Thanks,

The Journal-Standard

Hi there hilary - how long until your deadline? I'll email those who should be able to give you some decent copy.

Out of interest (sorry, I've had dealings with journalists before

) what is the leaning of the article? Subjective or objective?

I am asking for people who are members so that I can get all sides. I tried to email the address for this site and am waiting for a reply. My article needs to be turned in Tuesday, Jan. 8.

The article will go into the five W's of the Church of Google and it's creation and various ideas on what the definition of religion is or if there is one. I can try to do questions through email and talk to my editor but it would be feasible to do a phone interview.

Anyone, including yourself can give me a call (or I can call if a phone number is given). Please send me an email at hilary.matheson@journalstandard.com (please no spam). I will send my work phone to those who reply and genuinely want to express their opinions.

Thanks!

You'll need the interview by Monday am at latest I suspect?

Are you especially interested in people from your paper's demographic?

Perhaps an idea of the questions you want answering would help? You can email me at prussicacid@googlemail.com or post them here.

I'm sure someone can help. I'm from the UK so I'm not sure how that would sit with your readers.

Anyway - I'll nag people for you.

edit:
Hilary - I've posted your request in the *ministers lounge* and, fingers crossed, you shall go to the printer!

PS - interesting periodical. Slightly Christian?
PPS - that's not a problem by the way

I've PM'd Matt (Method-X) to let him know but no knowing when he will be around. If anyone has his direct email then maybe they can drop him a line too.

Hi Geoff - yeah, I just e-mailed Matt.
I'd still like to see the questions first though

Just call me paranoid
